Newsletter of the College of Architecture at Texas A&M University
Work by students in a third-year design studio at Texas A&M has been posted on a leading architecture blog, suckerPUNCH, that selectively posts design submissions.
"It's the most important architecture blog," said Mark Clayton, professor of architecture.
"The idea," said Gabriel Esquivel, an assistant professor of architecture who led the studio, "was about letting the students use their instincts and sensibility, creating arguments through the reinvention of a modern typology, the high-rise, and use it as a vehicle for discussion," said Esquivel in the blog.
The revision of the architectural argument as a way to negotiate these projects was fundamental for the effort, he said.
More of Esquivel's comments about the students' work is available at www.suckerpunchdaily.com.
